    On that site I linked you can flip a switch to see traffic cameras. I got some good entertainment yesterday watching slip'n'slide sled race driving... Today it seems to have quelled down. The major highways between towns all seem to have a single lane cleared by a combination of the Dept of...

    Here in Dallas, we have around 1-2" of accumulated sleet. Which of course means the whole city is pretty functionally shut down. I might get out in it this afternoon to scout the area and see how good/bad it is. Most of the freeways are moderately clear already due to traffic. Looks like...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    I could back this one as well. IMHO, it would be Urban if you wanted a grittier Man-at-arms, Offerman if you wanted more levity with it. Then again I'm kinda hoping they aren't going to "grimdark" He-Man... Let the IP be what the IP has always been. In my perfect world this movie results in...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    I'll chip in with that I love Mr Elba in everything I've seen him in. And I don't doubt he could make a good Man At Arms. But there are other characters he could have been cast as to make room for who I'd prefer.... Forgive the quick and dirty AI slop.... Would also give them someone with...

    Make sure to start calling the people running the meetings "Scrumbags"

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    So essentially, you're automating Elon's repetitive "Send me a list of 5 things you got done this week" emails.. but with AI.

    Investing General Discussion

    From a stand point of me just liking to make things out of silver, and .800 and .925 (sterling) being fine for that I wish this were true enough for the price on that "junk" to drop some. heh

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    OK, basically... God damn it, I feel stupider for just needing to recount that nonsense.... At this point I'm starting to finally hit the black pilled realization that the science fiction franchises I cherished as a kid have all be irrevocably broken in such a way that only burying them for a...

    Relative to my posting about copper in Politics... I also melt some silver as part of my metalcrafting hobby. I have purchased lots of "junk" silver jewlery which is .800 purity. Melt it down to make coins and things. Also a tiny pile of actual rounds which I bought ages ago (when it was...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    ... Or just to the several places in the US with "Wide Bore" CT and MRI machines. Strangely , for the first time in my life less than a year ago I had essentially a claustrophobic panic attack when being put in for an MRI (see the whole Kidney saga for me in the Health Problems thread). Because...

    Metalworking Thread (aka Haus indulging his inner mountain dwarf)

    Cross post from Politics, as someone mentioned the skyrocketing cost of metals (mostly silver and gold). It's also affected Copper. Which made me curious enough to go get all the copper I've cast together and weigh it. Mostly all metal I come across through seeing things people have tossed...

    Historically..... BTC will tend to rally AFTER a Gold rally finishes/pops. Gold is still posting new ATHs, so BTC being somewhat subdued isn't that surprising to me. Question is if we're really seeing an irrational bubble in gold/silver prices, or if this is the "new normal". If the latter...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    OK, so we're getting the Aquaman "I had to hide you somewhere safe" trope... Good enough. I just hope they don't spend 2/3rds of the move getting him to the point of getting the sword and back to Eternia.
